I was going to ask people for help weeks ago, but then Night Shade Books beat me to the punch. It seems we both have annual anthologies that we’d like to come up with names for. In my case, it’s the annual Clarkesworld Magazine Anthology. I’ve been banging my head against a wall trying to come up with something good and have gotten nowhere. The one thing we know is that Clarkesworld will not be in the title, but it could be in a subtitle.

So, anyone feeling creative today?

Update: Just so we’re clear, we’re not dropping the Clarkesworld name from the title because of possible associations with Arthur C. Clarke. We want a title that will be more marketable.

Theme? It’s a collection of all the stories published in Clarkesworld Magazine during it’s first year. 24 stories in total, 10 of which are online now at http://www.clarkesworldmagazine.com. That’s the only connecting thread between them.
